If ever there was a day I needed a pick-me-up, it's today. Between recent YA kerfluffles and the horrors in Paris, I think we could all use a smile so I grabbed one of my personal favorites from my archives marked "EMERGENCY: BREAK LINK FOR MUCH-NEEDED SMILES" and, once I vacuumed up the shatterglass, was able to access a fun guide to the "Language of Fans" by Kaja Foglio (of Foglio Studios fame).
Not only is this a funny and clever visual romp complete with silent film sound effects and tea-stained sepia tones, but as a long-time fan of Phil Foglio's humorous artwork and of their combined talents as creators of my all-time favorite steampunk epic webcomic series, Girl Genius, I wanted to give to you a little something to grin about for the weekend:
Now I want to do another steampunk tea party and hand out fans party favors!
